Yes, it's the teaser. Same thing was wrong with my 124 when I got it. The teaser was so rotted, it appeared to look good, but had no tension at all. Coincidentally, the clutch spring seems soft also.
I mde a new teaser out of stock (we buy springs in 2' lengths and make our own depending on the application.
Change the teaser, readjust the clutch pedal...you'll be fine.

I always thought the teaser spring was there so the clutch wasn't "grabby". I have a couple gear drives with broken teaser springs and other than being grabby they work ok (not great but ok) as long as none of the spring is "missing" the clutch should still work.

Just a thought.

check your linkage and make sure it is correct and have the clutch/peddle set per service manual. also, check the set-up/order of compoments on the drive shaft. make sure they are in the correct order and direction.

You can have no teaser spring and the clutch will work fine, but it will not engage smoothly. When you say 'new clutch,' what was replaced? A 'new clutch' usually entails a new driveshaft, pilot bushing, friction disc, teaser spring, throwout bearing, main spring, and spirol pins. The pressure plates should also be trued up in a lathe. You'd be amazed how much runout plates that 'look good' can have. I've had a junk a few sets because they wouldn't clean up after removing 60 thou off the face, even though they looked good.

If you forgot washers when you reassembled it or didn't replace the main spring, that may be the cause of your problem.

Not trueing the clutch plates is one of the major reasons owners have problems with their clutch after a rebuld. Using a belt sander or a disc sander is a poor way to refinish them. A lathe is the best wat to do it.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
